long week

i am getting the hang of things during our practice calls today. though, i messed up big time during the hotseat activity where you have to play as an operator using the projector screen. it was nerve racking. i must say that i was very relaxed during that activity because i know that it is ok to make mistakes. so there, i forgot a lot of things and lost track of my verbatim. my trainer commented "ang sakit sa bangs ng verbatim mo russ". hehehe... i just laughed at my mistakes but i make sure i remember them. kaya siguro nung nagpractice calls na kme i got the hang of it. if there is one thing that bothers me, is my typing. baka maligwak ako dahil dun. wish me luck.

holy monday

i passed our final written assessment yesterday. it was open notes. the hell, if i did not it would be a real shame. the only thing i am worried is our test bed tomorrow morning. this is the practical or application assessment for us to move on to the next phase which is nesting. i've been depressed since tuesday. the reason, i am not sure. maybe its the uncertainty of the results of this training. i must admit that i am not confident that i will pass. i need to have this job badly that is why i worked hard for it the past two weeks. i am just not sure on how i will fare during the test bed. i swear among all the accounts i handled the past years i was working in a call center, i find this very difficult. i feel that there are a lot of technicalities that you have to master and all the information thought are too much in a span of 2 weeks. yeah, there is only 1 tool to master however there are a lot of hotkeys to memorize and a lot of techniques on how to handle the call. i remember one of our soft skills trainer saying, there is always a price to pay for something. i must admit she is right. i want a high paying job so i have to pay the price of pressure, stress and difficulty. haayy... ang hirap talagang kumita ng pera.

btw, i am not only worried on how i will do on the test bed itself but if i will be able to physically be there on time. i have to be there on saturday morning 3:30am. i am just afraid i won't get a ride going there. it's black saturday early in the morning. i doubt it if there are jeeps or fx available at that time. i will also have a long day today. i'm sure my mom will tag me along to the church to listen to the seven last words of Jesus. after that, she will not go home yet and stay to attend the mass at 4 or 4:30pm to 5:30 or 6pm. it will not end there yet and she had to watch the procession of the saints' images. because there are a lot of images for the procession, it usually ends at 7pm when finally all of these images had gone out of the church premises to go around the town with all the devotees of each saint images. i don't have anything against it. we've been doing this for years and i don't complain and i am not complaining still. its only that this time, i have to sleep at 6pm and wake up at 12midnight to go to work. i just dunno if my mom will understand. she always thinks that i always make an excuse not to do these things because she told me i am always stubborn when it comes to these things. well, i am not. i just have a lot of things to worry and she cannot blame me. i have to support a family. God knows how difficult it is for me but i am hanging in there and im doing my best to be able to succeed. am i starting to whine again?!

update: i saw it coming. magtatalo kme ng nanay about the activities she planned to do today. i don't want to go on details. i hope someone understands me.

i caught roxy online last tuesday night. she is one of my good friends way back in my SVI days and we remained as friends even we don't see each other for the past 5 years now. we were able to chat for a few minutes. i am glad she's happy in dubai and that she has all her family with her. good for her. she found a niche in a foreign land. we talked about how i was doing and i told her what happened to my past employment. she offered me to go there and she will help me. i told her i will think about it and that i don't have the money to go there and i would definitely not risk it if i don't have a sure job waiting for me. she understood because she well knows that i am the sole bread winner of my family. she told me to check IPAMS if they have job openings because the agency sent her to dubai without paying anything. to be honest, i am seriously thinking about it. i'd do anything to get a good paying job.
